When to Add Butter to Soup

[Shel_B]

There's a nice lentil soup simmering on the stove as I type. I'll be adding some butter to the soup, which I usually do shortly before removing it from the stove and serving. However, this batch is going to a pot luck tomorrow, and will be reheated. So, do you think the butter should be added now or tomorrow, when it's reheated? Is there really much difference in taste or texture of the soup depending on when I add the butter? Thanks!

You can add it now and it will be fine. Just be sure to fully emulsify the butter into the soup (use a stick blender or a regular blender).
